About Golbo the Spider’s Amazing Vacuum Cleaner Adventure
Vacuum cleaners. . . What could be more dangerous? The threat from these evil machines had been drilled into Golbo the Spider at an early age, ever since his Uncle Snotkrunch had been sucked into one while going for a stroll after a family meal. Sure, dodging vacuum cleaners was Golbo’s second nature, but one day something went wrong. Horribly wrong. And yet, Golbo the spider was about to embark on the most extraordinary adventure of his life.

I love this concept! Who among us has not “accidentally” sucked up a spider when vacuuming. I’m looking forward to reading this myself.
